The BEST replacement candidate for UFC 199 IS...

[BRASIL WAND]

I doubt Jacare after years of hard work to become #1 contender would want to accept the biggest fight of his career and have roughly two weeks to peak again.

Should he NOT accept... BRING IN THE MOOSE LADS!!!

Dudes put in the time and work in MMA and is one of the few MW fighters in his prime who can match Rockhold skill for skill, plus he's always in great shape year around.

What say you SherLads???


Anyone have a better candidate? (Besides Jac of course)

 

[BruceLeeOnTRT]

Was always curious to see these two fight, even in Strikeforce. You'll get a lot of hate for it, but I think it's a fair late replacement opponent for Luke.

Whittaker and Bisping based on their rankings and winstreak compared to Gegards 1 fight winstreak?

 

[nanika]

ive always liked the moose even though he isnt a promoter at heart. he seems like a smart normal person. if he is fit he deserves it.

The problem with Whittaker and bisping though, whit is boring as shit and bisping has not shown he can take another LUke beating

Let's go moose

 

[Kevlar44]

Mousasi for my money would bring the best fight. Other than a fluke loss to Hall only the very best can beat him, and he never looks completely outmatched. Best pedigree and skill set of the possible contenders, assuming Jacare is too hurt.

 

[subhuman trash]

Luke Rockhold looks like Nathan Drake.

FORGET the rankings.

Neither Bisping nor Whittaker would give Rockhold a fight.

Whittaker would get taken down and mauled.

Bisping... Well he's just Bisping lol. Not to mention winning 3 controversial decisions in a row in which he's been concussed in all 3 (CB, Leites, Andy) shouldn't be looked on too heavily either.


Moose has cleaner striking than Rockhold and the scrambles all fight would be EPIC.

 

[Sgt Smith]

I have no problem with it. And I like your point about Jacare having little time to prepare. Same could be said for Bisping, short notice and he'll likely only ever get one shot if at all.

 

[jack87]

Hideman LOL

Moose doesn't deserve a TS.....

Bisping is the only guy for the job

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Better than Bisping.

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

Amazing how sherdog can be so selective on who and when someone deserves a title shot.

Getting KTFO by Hall then winning a decision against Leites hardly qualifies for a shot. But since it's Moose shertards will beg for it, regardless whether he deserves it or not.

 

[AMST Vallon]

Never even gave the moose a thought, that's a good shout!

He was concussed because of a cheap shot vs Silva; he was running away with the fight prior to that and likely would have performed better and won more rounds during the second part of the fight. The only reason there is controversy is because Silva has lots of terrible fans.

 

[WouldNotBang]

Fuck the rankings. Moose has been making noise lately with shit talk and media shit. First saying Machida was on the juice and then he got popped. Then the joke segment. He's changed his persona. When you do shit like this rankings don't mean squat.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I want Jacare, but if its not him then yeah I would be cool with Mousasi getting the fight. its a fresh match too.

 

[Joseph Budden]

Conor

What the hell was cheap about Silva kneeing him the face? Last time I checked, calling your own timeouts in a fight wasn't in the rules.

 

[TUFNewb]

TBH I'm not interested in paying for any more last minute undeserved squash matches/title fights.

Just cancel the card.
